I have audited a hip injection (20610) performed in the hospital outpatient radiology department by an orthopedist with fluoroscopic guidance. The radiology department has added a charge for the permanent one view on file with CPT 73501. I am under the impression that this permanent image is for confirmation of needle position and, therefore, inclusive to the procedure. A 77002 was charged for the fluoroscopic guidance (correctly). Do any of you have a resource that explains this? I am writing my audit report and would like to present the findings with citations.
